Since President Trump took office in January, the average price for a dozen eggs has plummeted from $6.49 on January 21 to just $2.52 today. That is a 61 percent drop, Fox News points out. It is an even bigger drop from the $8.00 per dozen average eggs hit in March. Some of that price drop can be attributed to the decrease in demand caused by those insane price increases, as well as fewer bird flu cases. Where the Trump administration deserves the most credit is its decision to proactively increase the importation of eggs from foreign countries until America’s...

The Heritage Foundation claims that, “Biden’s name was signed using an autopen on nearly every executive order and official document during his four-year tenure.” Did he delegate the decision to approve and sign, or did he direct someone to use the autopen on his behalf? If so, why couldn’t he sign these documents himself? President Trump signed 143 executive orders during the first 100 days of his second term, setting a record; most of these signings took place in front of the media and were video recorded. Why couldn’t President Biden do the same? If he was unable to sign...

Ranchers say their hands are tied as reintroduced wolves—listed as endangered—are feasting on cattle instead of hunting elk and deer.. Descendants of rewilded wolves are taking a heavy toll on cattle in Northern California and Oregon, killing calves and full-grown animals and putting stress on cow-calf operations and ranchers’ pocketbooks. Because wolves are listed as an endangered species under state and federal law, ranchers are hamstrung: They can’t shoot or harass these protected predators. The penalty for killing a wolf is steep; federal law carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine, unless a rancher...

June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a challenge to the legality of state restrictions on assault-style rifles and large-capacity ammunition magazines, passing up for now cases that offered the justices a chance to further expand gun rights. The justices turned away two appeals after lower courts upheld a ban in Maryland on powerful semi-automatic rifles such as AR-15s and one in Rhode Island restricting the possession of ammunition feeding devices holding more than 10 rounds. The lower courts rejected arguments that the measures violate the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment right to "keep and...

‘This is the core mission of our armed forces. When we are directly threatened by states with modern military forces, the most effective way to deter is to be prepared. And frankly to show that we are prepared to deliver peace through strength. We will innovate and accelerate our delivery. We will use the lessons of Ukraine, which I have discussed with Zelensky many times, to ensure that every capability we have works seamlessly with the others. Drones, destroyers, AI aircraft – every branch of our armed forces is fully integrated to create a force that is 10 times more...

PDATE: After receiving updated information, law enforcement officials have now identified eight victims. Four women and four men ages 52 to 88 were taken to Denver metro hospitals. EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The FBI says that agents are in El Paso County in the Cimarron Hills neighborhood conducting an investigation related to the attack on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder.

FBI agents could be seen walking along Washo Circle near Shawnee Drive. The El Paso County...

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has opened the public’s eyes to the truth surrounding the COVID-19 plandemic and authoritative mandates that permanently damaged public health and confidence in governments. The Food and Drug Administration announced it will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to children and pregnant women, while also stating that vaccine manufacturers must list the known risks of their so-called “safe and effective” mRNA concoctions. The public is beginning to see the truth. A new study found that 51% of Americans believe the COVID-19 vaccines led to heart issues. Around 69% of Republicans, 39% of Democrats,...

The unidentified 18-year-old, described by his coach as an 'exceptional citizen,' was detained by officers Saturday morning after being pulled over in a car with his teammates. The teen's friend, who wished to remain anonymous, described the moment he watched him get arrested when three undercover vehicles stopped them that morning. 'An ICE officer had stepped out of his vehicle, walked over to us, and knocked on the window,' he told WRPI. 'And they asked him what his documentation was. I didn't see him run a red light or do anything illegal, we were just on our way.' A peaceful...

The British Prime Minister has launched his Strategic Defence Review at a shipyard in Scotland on Monday, promising cash for new nuclear warheads, new attack submarines, and a building programme for new munitions factories. The United Kingdom, which presently spends 2.3 per cent of its GDP on defence, will boost that to 2.5 per cent by 2027 and 3 per cent by some time in the 2030s, the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Monday morning. The announcement was criticised from both sides, on one hand for three per cent of national output on defence being woefully low for...

The man suspected of carrying out an "act of terrorism" during a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, leaving eight people in the hospital, is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The suspect, 45-year-old Mohammed Soliman, entered the U.S. in August 2022 on a B2 visa and he filed for asylum in September 2022, according to Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security.

Ukrainian drones took out numerous Russian bombers on Sunday over a thousand miles from the border with Ukraine. This comes one day before peace talks resume in Turkey. ================================================================== Ukrainian drones on Sunday took out an estimated 36% of all Russian strategic aviation! $2 billion worth of damage! Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 117 drones were used in the strike inside Russia that wiped wiped out dozens of nuclear “doomsday” bombers and other aircraft. President Trump WAS NOT NOTIFIED of the attack before it took place – because Trump wants peace and the globalists want World War and the destruction of...

The FBI’s electronic case management system, Sentinel, allows agents to hide the existence of relevant investigative reports from other authorized users of the federal database. And during the Russia collusion hoax, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used that functionality to keep potentially relevant documents hidden from other FBI agents investigating whether a Fusion GPS contractor lied to Congress. The significance of these two facts cannot be overstated: Now in question is whether the federal government complies with the constitutional mandate in criminal cases to provide defendants all material exculpatory and impeachment evidence as well as its discovery obligations in civil...

CVS says it will close 271 retail locations across the country by the end of the year. The company — the world’s second-largest healthcare provider — announced the move to stockholders late last week as part of an enterprise-wide restructuring plan. The goal, CVS says, is to simplify the organization, improve efficiency, and generate more than $500 million in cost savings in 2025. CVS has not yet released which stores will be affected or when closures will take place. The company currently operates around 9,100 stores across the US. Founded in 1963 in Lowell, Massachusetts, CVS is now headquartered in...

~From our regularly scheduled and faintly obnoxious "As I said twenty years ago" featurette. Me in The Daily Telegraph, December 20th 2005: These days, whenever something goofy turns up on the news, chances are it involves a fellow called Mohammed. A plane flies into the World Trade Centre? Mohammed Atta. A gunman shoots up the El Al counter at Los Angeles airport? Hesham Mohamed Hedayet. A sniper starts killing petrol station customers around Washington, DC? John Allen Muhammed. A guy fatally stabs a Dutch movie director? Mohammed Bouyeri. A terrorist slaughters dozens in Bali? Noordin Mohamed. A gang-rapist in Sydney?...

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested several illegal aliens who were allegedly employed by a construction subcontractor performing work on the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) main campus. The arrests took place during a warrant-based worksite raid carried out by ICE on Friday afternoon. ICE issued a brief statement regarding the worksite enforcement action, saying, “On May 30, ICE San Antonio conducted an enforcement action on the northwest side of San Antonio. This operation resulted in the arrest of several individuals who were in the United States unlawfully. No further details are available at this time.” ICE...

June 1, 2025, was Tulsa's first Race Massacre Observance Day. Dedicated to remembering those who died in the tragedy more than 100 years ago. On June 1, Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols announced a $105 million trust to fund the growth and recovery of Greenwood. It was nothing but pride from Raittia Rogers as she learned about Tulsa's Race Massacre Observance Day. "At the same time, we can't do anything but rebuild," said Rogers. Mayor Nichols announced the dedication in March. It was part of his plan to help Greenwood recover. Nichols announced trust at the Greenwood Cultural Center. It would...

A hate-fueled madman launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire and injuring eight total as he screamed “Free Palestine” and used a “makeshift flamethrower” and Molotov cocktails against a crowd commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said. Video footage captured the alleged attacker — whom FBI officials identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the homemade incendiary devices. “They are killers! How many children you killed?” shouted the shirtless man, who was reportedly...

When corporations got rid of their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, many also axed their commitments to LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Even before Donald Trump's executive orders terminating all DEI positions in the federal government, dozens of major companies had already abandoned their practices. Many made their decisions after conservatives online specifically targeted them for their policies and threatened boycotts, with failed filmmaker turned failed congressional candidate Robby Starbuck taking credit for spearheading the movement. This withdrawal didn't just encompass inclusive work environments and hiring practices, or participation in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index — in abandoning DEI, companies...

Oregon Senate Democrats passed a bump stock ban late last week and the legislation also allows local municipalities to ban the carry of firearms in buildings where public meetings are held. A bump stock ban once existed at the federal level but the Supreme Court of the United States struck it down on June 14, 2024. In the majority opinion for the bump stock decision, Justice Clarence Thomas made clear the ban faltered in claiming bump stocks turn semiautomatic firearms into machine guns: Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are not machineguns. This case...

Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes on Russian air force bases weaken Moscow’s ability to wage war on its smaller neighbor and undermine its capacity to threaten more distant rivals such as the U.S.—a shift with potentially far-reaching geostrategic implications. A sizable portion of the fleet Moscow uses to launch guided-missile attacks on Ukraine—and would rely on to strike adversaries in the event of a nuclear war—was damaged or destroyed in the coordinated attacks. Russia no longer produces the decades-old Tupolev planes, meaning it has lost a cornerstone of its ability to project military power beyond its borders. Newer Russian planes are...
